Well I'm busted in Stockholm I ain't got no money
To pay for an airplane, bus fare or fast train
But I gotta get home my woman has been untrue
She's got me feelin so beautifully blue
She won't take me back no I know
And the jealousy rubs me like sand
But in my heart I know I must go
After all I am only a man
We hadn't exchanged words in months
When I met her in Amsterdam
She laughed away my reservations
Said thanks for a hell of a one weekend stand
Betters come and better days go
I fell back in love with you I thought you should know
That good times move so fast bad seems so slow
I knew this was fact as your train rolled away from the station
I waved cause it didn't occur
As I stared through the glass at you face as you passed
Never again would I see the way you looked at me like you did
And that's why I said if and when you decide
To stand ignoring the tide
you'll end up way over your head
And so I walk the streets alone
late at night I am unaware of the strangers
and the dangers they pose me
And as I'm walking by the stores I see my image in the mirrors
And it's clearer that the seasons changing me
So fly me away take me away fly me away
So fly me away take me away fly me away
So fly me away take me away from this god damn place
I landed in NYC to late for you and me
It seemed at the airport my time was just too short
I could tell from the tone in your voice as it rang right through the phone
Once again you decided to move on
You didn't want me back no you said
Your stepping out with your landlord instead
I just laughed and scratched my head
Pretty sure you told me he was pitiful
Betters come and better days go
I fell back in love with you I thought you should know
That good times move so fast bad seems so slow
I knew this was fact as your train rolled away from the station
I waved cause it didn't occur
As I stared through the glass at you face as you passed
Never again would I see the way you looked at me like you did
And that's why I said if wand when you decide
To stand ignoring the tide
you'll end up way over your head
And so I walk the streets alone
late at night I am unaware of the strangers
and the dangers they pose me
And as I'm walking by the stores I see my image in the mirrors
And it's clearer that the seasons changing me
So fly me away take me away fly me away
So fly me away take me away fly me away
So fly me away take me away from this god damn place
